Capt. Kelly Stilwell’s Weekly Fishing Report

As the Gulf and Bay waters cool the fishing as well as the water conditions are improving.

Angler Paul Ortenzio and his Sister Barbara had a good day Wednesday catching lots of scrappy ladyfish on flies and jigs.

Friday they switched to live shrimp and caught some nice snook, a redfish, sheepshead, and several mangrove snappers.

Remember, if you'd like to get out on the water drop me a line, I'd be happy to oblige.
